"And it was given to him to give breath to the icon of the beast, so that the icon of the beast would even speak and cause as many as do not worship
the icon of the beast or kiss his ring to be doomed"

This is also "just a movie". As you see I have written Icon instead of image here. The original Greek source says icon. You also see that I have
written "kiss the hand of". This is because the source text use a word for worship which basically just means to kiss the hand. You may also notice
that instead of killed, I have written doomed (to Hell). This is also consistent with the source text. This movie of Mel Gibson fulfills this part
perfectly. Jesjuah didn't look like a Roman Cæsar like the icons of the Church says. He was black and he tought that we should not make any images of
whether him or anyone else. Where is your love? Who is your God?

This is the kind of crap I'm talking about. You got this fake-ass movie supposedly depicting the "true" story of Jesus when it can't be true if
Jesus isn't black in the film. Then, all the Jesus Freaks get all goofy and reverant, saying, "In the name of God, you must see this gory bloodfest
of a film. See the blood. See the gore. See the torture. Praise Jesus."

Then, tis not bad enough that they will be making filthy lucre off the lie but now look what their doing!

February 19, 2004 -- Replicas of the nails used to hang Jesus on the cross have become the red-hot official merchandise linked to Mel Gibson's
controversial new movie, "The Passion of the Christ."
Pendants made from the pewter, 2 1/2-inch nails - selling for $16.99 - all but flew out of the Christian Publications Bookstore on West 43rd Street as
soon as they were put on display.

Hundreds of stores across the country will be selling licensed items tied to the movie, a graphically violent depiction of the last 12 hours of
Christ's life, which opens next week on Ash Wednesday.

The souvenirs include a book, pins, key chains, coffee mugs and T-shirts.

But the most unusual collectibles are the nails, each of which hangs on a leather cord.

Its side bears the inscription "Isaiah 53:5," referring to a Bible verse that begins, "He was pierced for our transgressions . . ."

We have gone over this already..keep up please.....Jewish is to much a generalization to actually say which color he was.

Gee, sorry.
I'm sure he was bronze from the sun although he had the nicest little curl in his hair when it got longer. I think when he wandered the desert he was
a bit darker, but that is only because they didn't use the same skin treatment back then. He could have put on some type of oil, well...I am pretty
sure they had oil of some kind. Maybe a date oil. Might have helped him keep one color, but he probably didn't use it because obviously people are
all confused by his color...and of course you know that his skills as Jesus depended on his color. I mean, a white Jesus would definately not be as
good. You know how there were like no white people back then anyway so I am sure....

Awww, who am I kidding...might as well run out and get me some of those nails.

I'm a bit confused about you saying "Jesus Freaks" are going to get all the money? Mel Gibson practically financed this whole film out of his own
pocket, so the only person who's going to see money is Mel himself.

The way I see it he's made a movie that he feels is a true depiction of Jesus's last hours, and wanted to tell it brutally and honestly as he
could.

That is why no distributor would touch it, and no financier would back it. He deserves credit for that.

I am not a christian, I don't give a crap about Jesus, but I'm very much looking forward to seeing this film as a "film".

And why does he look like a Cæsar? Because Cæsar, the arch of the Roman Empire, means "wounded by sword" of course, and it is obviously because they
want to keep the Catholic story as authentic as possible. That guy on their Icons, was a man who was killed during the darkages, but returned to the
land of the living mysteriously.....

And....
"Behold, I will cause those of the synagogue of Satan, who say that they are Jews and are not, but lie--I will make them come and bow down at your
feet, and make them know that I have loved you. "

It is his Eikon you are woshipping, for today the Cæsar title is owned by the Pope of course. This film will spread a message saying the Catholic
Church is the only correct faith, and the only way to come to Heaven would be to "kiss the ring" of the Pope, and worship his Eikons.
